base
an insane base product for the price. stunning packaging, amazing natural finish with buildable coverage, skincare infused, lasts on the skin, and has a great shade range (not just how many, but undertones as well - this line has one of my best shade...
The Performer - about-face
best concealer i've used to get full coverage without looking caky. “luminous matte” describes it perfectly bc it does dry down but not to a dull finish. formula is also surprisingly thin and a little goes a long way
FauxFilter Luminous Matte Concealer - Huda Beauty
if you have oily skin you need this fr. use on the parts of your face that get oily before the rest of your routine and you'll be shocked how long your base lasts before showing any oil. and just creates the perfect smooth base while adding extra cov...
Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder - Danessa Myricks Beauty
the concealer i've used that creases on me the LEASTTT and never separates or looks crusty. super lightweight medium buildable coverage, can even use it as a skin tint
Light Bare With Me Hydrating Face & Body Concealer Serum - NYX ...
repurchased this 3x it's so flexible and just does what i need it to do. pack on with a powder puff for more coverage or a fluffy brush if not. mattifies without looking cakey
NYX Professional Makeup Can't Stop Won't Stop All Day Mattifying Powder
under the eyes this is meh, but it's my preferred formula for concealing spots/acne because it's so full coverage and a bit of a drier formula so any oiliness doesn't just instantly break it down
Born This Way Super Coverage Multi-Use Concealer
cheeks
i like these EVEN MORE than the rare beauty blushes *gasp.* they are pigmented, easy to blend, and last forever on the skin. they also have a teensy amount of shimmer that you can only see in the bottle that just gives the most gorgeous natural glow ...
Camo Liquid Blush | e.l.f. Cosmetics

Milani - Spilling Tea Cheek Kiss Cream Bronzer
fav cream contour i've been using for years!!! especially if you need a nose contour this formula is amazing cause it's a lil drier so it will actually stick even on an oily nose. they have a lot of good cool toned shades, i use amber suede!
Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Match Stix Matte Contour Skinstick
imo the only highlighter you need if you're around my skin tone. shade petal pusher. goes in my inner corners, on my cheekbones, and the bridge of my nose every time i do my makeup literally. can be built up to be blinding or apply a tiny bit with fi...

MERZY The First Slim Gel Eyeliner, Ultra-Slim
these shadows are so gorggg for when you need a lil extra pizazz, i get so many compliments when i wear fembot! i would avoid applying directly to the lids bc it can get patchy but otherwise you're golden
r.e.m. beauty - Fembot Starlet Liquid Eyeshadow
that girl. period. the applicator always breaks eventually but all you really need is a stiff spooly and a finger or something to flatten your brows. pretty sure this is just lash glue in a different bottle but it works. so. well. for that reason. no...
Ardell Brow Glue Instant Lamination Gel
lips
the longest lasting lip liner at the drugstore period. with some finesse you can make this last a whole shift. fav shades are sassy and magic maker. expect a super soft tip/application but it will get tacky and then set down!
